  • CTF Report on Expense Claims Filed by the Honourable Jim Prentice As Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development
    CTF Report on Expense Claims filed by the Honourable Jim Prentice as Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development August 29, 2014 Derek Fildebrandt Alberta Director Canadian Taxpayers Federation Summary of Findings The Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) has conducted a review of the Honourable Jim Prentice’s expense claims as the federal minister of Indian Affairs (now Aboriginal Affairs) and Northern Development and found at least one major irregularity worth bringing to attention. The CTF was informed by the department of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development (AAND) that Mr. Prentice’s expense claims as the minister of that department – requested in an Access to Information (ATI) request – were destroyed. The CTF filed subsequent ATI requests to ascertain if this was true or not and was soon informed by AAND that in fact, the records were not destroyed. The CTF questions the validity of the reasons given for the “destroyed” records and the completeness of the records eventually released. Mr. Prentice also chartered a private aircraft from the Calgary International Airport with three of his staffers, where it flew to the Calgary Springbank Airport to pick him up. The chartered aircraft then flew to Fort MacLeod, a small town a short driving distance away from Calgary. The aircraft flew at between 27 per cent and 50 per cent capacity and cost an average of $742.73 for each passenger to travel the short distance. This appears to be in clear contravention of travel rules set out by the Parliament of Canada. Background After the resignation Alison Redford from the premiership, Albertans were concerned about the abuse of expenses and entitlements of politicians.

    THE ISSUE Alberta’s Premier Review of 99 NEWS Politics and Government Vitality JANUARY/2020 from UNPRECEDENTED DECADE IN ALBERTA POLITICS Jim Prentice, although victorious, renounced his seat right after the provincial election, sending Calgary Lougheed voters to the polls for the 3rd time in roughly one year. In the September 3, 2015 by-election they elected Prassad Panda of the COMES TO AN END Wildrose Party. Tragedy struck in the fall of 2015 with the unfortunate death of former Cabinet Minister Manmeet Bhullar. Robert Reynolds, Q.C. He was killed in a traffic accident on Highway 2 around Red Deer when he attempted to help a motorist during a snowstorm and was struck himself. His successor in Calgary-Greenway was Prab Gill who ran as a PC, but would ultimately become an Independent amidst accusations of participating in voter irregularity. How amazing were the 2010s in Alberta politics? The decade saw the demise of the Progressive Conservative Party, which had governed Alberta from 1971 – 2015. It saw the first NDP government in the province’s history, which also turned out to Undoubtedly the biggest political move during the period was the creation of the United Conservative Party (UCP) from the merger of the PC and Wildrose parties.

  • Report from Ottawa (Sep-08-14)
    Date: September 8, 2014 To: Bryan Walton, National Cattle Feeders’ Association Casey Vander Ploeg, National Cattle Feeders’ Association From: Cathy Jo Noble & Peter Brackenridge Parliamentary Update Summer recess for parliamentarians is coming to a close as the House and Senate are scheduled to return back on September 15. While buoyed by the promise of a $6.4-billion budget surplus, there’s some uneasiness for Conservative MPs heading into the fall after a tough summer. By several markers it’s been a bumpy summer for the governing Conservative caucus. The party has been consistently trailing in political polls; a former caucus member was criminally charged while a former staffer was found guilty of preventing or trying to prevent voters from casting ballots. In addition, nineteen Conservative MPs have already announced they won’t run for re-election. Due to a electoral redistribution process since the last election, a total of 30 new federal ridings will also be in play in the next election, with six new ridings in British Columbia, six in Alberta, three in Quebec, and 15 in Ontario. Pundits suggest that MPs are going to be on their best behavior this fall because the government will run a surplus for the first time in a long time and everybody wants to see how that is spent and help determine the priorities. But that once the budget planning is over, the nitty-gritty of election 2015, will begin and the gloves will come off in terms of politics. Comment: FYI Political Update Mulcair to Release Platform NDP Leader, Tom Mulcair intends to start this fall by nailing down some key planks in the NDP's election platform — a full year before the next scheduled federal vote.
